Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Madam Xu and her entourage left with extremely gloomy expressions.

The room was in complete disarray. Xu Ningxiang looked at Ying Yufu apologetically, "Fu'er, thank you for your trouble."

Ying Yufu frowned slightly: "Aren't we friends? You're being so polite, but you still don't consider me a real friend."

Xu Ningxiang said, "No, I consider you a good friend, but I hope I can bring you good things, not trouble like this."

Don't take what Madam Xu said to you just now to heart; it's not worth it.

Ying Yufu snorted lightly: "Of course I won't take it to heart. Why would I bother arguing with her?"

Xu Ningxiang's eyes were cold. "That's right, she's a dying person, not worth arguing with."

Ying Yufu was startled, but then she saw Xu Ningxiang regain her composure and say, "She somehow knew that I was not dead and was recuperating at the Jishetang Medical Clinic."

Not only that, she also asked me for my mother's belongings, which is really strange.

After a moment's thought, Ying Yufu said, "It must have been Ying Hengzhi who told her."

"Ying Hengzhi?" Xu Ningxiang was very surprised. "Ying Hengzhi is too strange. Not only does she know the score of the Mandarin Duck Brocade Zither, but now she even knows what's in my mother's belongings."

Ying Yufu revealed a little: "Ying Hengzhi has this ability. She can find out the background of anyone she has her eye on, and then she can use magic to get close to them."

With System 008, it would be quite easy for Ying Hengzhi to find out other people's backgrounds.

"Why is she targeting me?" Xu Ningxiang frowned. "Could it be the weapon or the treasure map left by Father?"

"Maybe," Ying Yufu said.

"She initially tried to befriend me, but after I rejected her, she switched her efforts to befriend Old Madam Xu instead."

Xu Ningxiang's face was icy cold.

Among the noble ladies in the capital, she disliked associating with Ying Hengzhi, and she rarely approached the other noble ladies who were on good terms with Ying Hengzhi.

She doesn't have many friends and is rather solitary.

But she also has people she finds attractive.

For example, Ying Yufu right in front of us.

She was just too well-behaved before, and she never thought of getting close to her.

Until one day, she was truly surprised to see her secretly going into Youfangzhai to buy those storybooks.

From then on, she became curious about her.

She quietly began to observe this seemingly well-behaved and gentle girl. She noticed that not only did the girl go to Youfangzhai to buy storybooks, but she was also not satisfied with the existing storybooks and even paid a large sum of money to have someone write them according to her wishes.

That's really interesting.

Seeing her lost in thought, Ying Yufu said, "You can no longer stay at Jishengtang. The old lady of Anqing Marquis is very likely to secretly take action against you."

She wants your mother's belongings. She won't kill you, but she'll inevitably bother you and might even resort to other means.

Xu Ningxiang thought she was right.

Given Old Mrs. Huang's ruthless and unscrupulous nature, she is capable of anything.

Ying Yufu said, "Do you own a house? No, even if you do, it's probably not safe."

Ying Yufu thought for a moment, "I originally wanted to invite you to stay at the Mu residence, but with my brother there, it wouldn't be good for your reputation as a young girl."

However, the Ginkgo Garden diagonally opposite the Mu residence is also part of my family's property. It's been vacant, but it's managed. I'll send some guards there to protect you, and you'll feel comfortable staying there.

Xu Ningxiang didn't stand on ceremony at all, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble Fu'er."

After waiting for a while, Ying Yufu had a carriage brought over. Her carriage was spacious and comfortable, and as long as the carriage moved slowly, it would not affect Xu Ningxiang's injuries at all.

Doctor Hu had someone carefully help Xu Ningxiang onto the carriage, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, Xu Ningxiang was quite troubled when people from the Marquis of Anqing's mansion came to cause trouble while she was living in Jishetang.

The carriage drove directly into the Ginkgo Garden. Wushuang glanced at the ginkgo tree in front of the gate where she hid every day. It turned out that this was also Fu'er's residence.

The Mu family's immense wealth was well-deserved.

As its name suggests, Ginkgo Garden is filled with ginkgo trees and has a large ginkgo forest.

The golden leaves were scattered on the ground, like gold.

It is truly beautiful and magnificent.

The courtyards are exquisite and beautiful, a feast for the eyes.

Xu Ningxiang also came from a noble family and had seen many mansions before, but a mansion like Ginkgo Garden was rare.

In an instant, she felt that her injuries had healed even more, and even the air smelled exceptionally pleasant.

She fell in love with the house at first sight.

"This place is so beautiful. It's such an honor to live here."

Ying Yufu said, "Anyway, this place is empty, so you can stay here as long as you like."

Ying Yufu thoughtfully sent her a maid and a nanny.

Coincidentally, the maid's name was Ginkgo.

Xu Ningxiang looked at Yinxing, a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a round face, big double eyelids, and a very endearing appearance.

She smiled and said, "I like ginkgo trees."

Ginkgo, praised, revealed a simple and honest smile.

Xu Ningxiang couldn't help but think of Xiao Tao, her maid in the Marquis of Anqing's mansion.

Xiao Tao grew up with her, but she still betrayed her without hesitation.

She was the one who drugged her.

the other side.

After the old lady of the Marquis of Anqing returned to her residence, Xiao Tao came to report on Xu Lingyi's every move that day.

"Madam, the eldest young lady tried to run away today, but fortunately she was caught and brought back. Now she is making a fuss and refusing to eat or take her medicine."

Madam Xu was already in a terrible mood, and upon hearing this, she coldly said, "Call her over."

Xiao Tao accepted the order and left.

"Granny Xu, go and bring over the things I prepared for her," she instructed Granny Xu.

Granny Xu's eyes flashed, and she curtsied, saying, "Yes."

Before long, Xu Lingyi was summoned over. She was very afraid of Old Madam Xu.

At first, she was afraid that her new grandmother would dislike her, so she tried to please her.

Later, she discovered that her new grandmother doted on her nephew, Wong Chi-chung, more, and that she, as the "granddaughter," was not as favored as a nephew.

Today, her grandmother was clearly in a very bad mood, and the way she looked at her sent chills down her spine.

Xu Lingyi knelt down to pay her respects.

"Granddaughter greets Grandmother and wishes her good health."

Madam Xu smiled gently, "Lingyi, get up. The ground is cold. Don't kneel."

Xu Lingyi got up tremblingly and sat down to the side.

When Granny Xu returned, she had someone place a bowl of bird's nest and white fungus in front of her.

There was also a bowl in front of the old lady.

"Eat up. I heard you didn't eat anything today. Are you throwing a tantrum?"

Even if you throw a tantrum, you can't refuse to eat. Grandma knows you don't like your cousin, and she'll scold him later.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lingyi's eyes lit up. Was her grandmother finally going to deal with Huang Zicong?

Very good!

She smiled sincerely and said, "Thank you, Grandmother!"

Then pick up the small spoon and start eating what's in the bowl.

As she lowered her head to eat, the kindness on Madam Xu's face vanished completely, replaced by a blank stare.

Xu Mama, standing to the side, had an even more unreadable expression.
